How to create multiple Treeview window with same format/layout upon clicking a button in Python Tkinter?

Currently I have one window that displays two Treeview frames(festo and transformer) that of identical layout. These treeview layout should display different user data from txt files. Hence, the no of Treeview windows are dynamic based on the no txt files in a folder. Is it possible to create/generate multiple pop-up Treeview windows of the same layout upon a button click?

How to solve the "bad window path name ".!labelframe.!canvas.!frame" error in tkinter python?

This is my code:

no_result_lbl.pack(fill=X)
When I run it, it shows me the bad window path name ".!labelframe.!canvas.!frame error and when I try to do the same thing without object-oriented in tkinter then it works well !

tkinter resize GUI on different monitors

I am mainly coding on my MAC.
I created a GUI that is used for a tool I am using to automate things with selenium.
I have used .grid for all widgets in my GUI.
But when I open the GUI on my Windows laptop at home (same resolution but much smaller monitor panel) it is totally messed up.

As a coding beginner, I really have no idea what else I could change.
I already changed from .place to .grid but the problem is still the same.
Does anyone have an idea how I could setup my GUI that it keeps the minimum required geometry relations no matter on what monitor I work?

Here is an example of forcing it to look like the second picture.
import tkinter as tk
from PIL import ImageTk, Image
# General GUI settings
app = tk.Tk()
app.configure(bg="black")
#Background label
image = Image.open('test.png')
image = image.resize((200,200), Image.ANTIALIAS)
copy_of_image = image.copy()
photo = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image)
label = tk.Label(app, image = photo)
label.grid(row=3, column=1, sticky='w')
#others
r_normal = tk.Radiobutton(app, text="Normal Speed")
r_fast = tk.Radiobutton(app, text="Fast Speed")
r_slow = tk.Radiobutton(app, text="Slow Speed")
r_buyonly = tk.Radiobutton(app, text="Buy only")
r_fullroutine = tk.Radiobutton(app, text="Full routine (optimized price)")
r_buysellfixed = tk.Radiobutton(app, text="Buy and sell for fixed price")

t_outputbox.grid(row=13, column=0, columnspan=13, rowspan=13, sticky='nsew', padx=5, pady=10)
Notable differences:
I had to set a background color to make up for how we are moving that image.
The image is no longer using .place and instead using .grid.
The image will need to be resized a bit differently because it is a smaller area.
I removed all those row_configures because they were removing some rigidity, you can add it back if you like, but you'll have to re-scale your columns to match the new layout.
Let us know if you have any questions etc.

Submit tkinter entry data to sqlite3 db

Complete noob here, I'm trying to submit data from a group of tkinter entry boxes to sqlite3. When I run the code, the form displays correctly and the table is created, but the data is not being submitted to the database.

You have in your code more inconsistencies.
Firstly, when you have in staff_dtls e.g. self.lname_entry.get(), you have to have defined self.lname_entry, it's not sufficient to have only lname_entry, because of Python Classes and OOP theory.
Next, you have some mess in variable names e.g. in staff_dtls you have self.inc_type.get(), but you have to have self.inc_type_entry.get() and vice versa, you have e.g.
ue_tax = ttk.Entry(box2, textvariable=ue_tax_entry_value), but you need ue_tax_entry = ttk.Entry(box2, textvariable=ue_tax_entry_value). So unite precisely your variable names.
Next, instead of c.excecute("INSERT INTO staffing VALUES (?)", (element)) (with typo excecute), you need something like this self.c.execute("INSERT INTO staffing VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ...)", (element)), with so many question marks, how many columns you want to insert to DB.
These are the main errors when you fix them, you will be on the right track.

Dynamically fit tkinter window to its content

I have a Toplevel Window with one grid row containing a Label, Entry and a "+" Button (window on startup)
When I hit the Add-Button a new row with the same content is generated. But the problem is, that the window doesn't resize and fit to its new contents. Should look like this resized window.
The code is below:
def process_map():
numbers = {0:'\u2080', 1:'\u2081', 2:'\u2082', 3:'\u2083', 4:'\u2084', 5:'\u2085', 6:'\u2086', 7:'\u2087', 8:'\u2088', 9:'\u2089'}
button_pos = tk.IntVar(0)
ENTRIES = {}
def add_button():
if button_pos.get() >= 10:
index = numbers[button_pos.get()//10] + numbers[button_pos.get()%10]
else:
index = numbers[button_pos.get()]
lb = tk.Label(top_root, text='\u03C6'+index)
lb.grid(row=button_pos.get(), column=0, sticky='NWES')
entry = tk.Entry(top_root, width=4, relief='sunken', bd=2)
